Trail Shoe: Keen Ochoco Waterproof

A waterproof version of the Ochoco is just that. Bulletproof like the original version, these new models add waterproof upper protection. The potent underfoot protection of the Ochoco comes from a nylon support shank and quadruple-density EVA midsole. The eVent upper is relatively breathable for a shoe that won’t let any water penetrate its hide, and the asymmetrical lace-lines accommodate a fluid upper-foot motion. The Keen-esque toe bumper is consistent with these stable and comfortable shoes that our testers recommended for really burly, rocky trails or as approach or hiking shoes, given that they lacked the "runability" of lighter, more flexible shoes.
